It was on 31 March 1957 that our team made its league debut against Estudiantes, beating them 76-61. That first edition was contested by six clubs and was very evenly matched, with Madrid clinching the title in the last game.
The squad that started Real Madrid's league legend was coached by Ignacio Pinedo and featured Alfonso MartÃnez, who ended up being the top scorer that season, as its offensive reference. Since then, Real Madrid has been the best team in the history of the competition with 36 titles.
